That was IMO probably the best trance sound of all times but strangely enough, it was somehow underestimated and maybe over-shadowed by later more pure epic-stuff (e.g. Agnelli & Nelson, The Thrillseekers) and even later, the Super-Saw Dutch stuff (Gouryella, Rank-1).IMO when trance became purely "dutch" it somehow lost its elegance,not that there weren't any good stuff at all. It was just "to much(dutch)" some times. |
I agree entirely. Progressive Trance est mort. Vive progressive trance!
Of course, no single production can "define" trance, but certainly some are more up to the task than others. Two that I think of as acceptable prototypes for the genre:
Age of Love (Jam & Spoon's Watch Out For Stella Mix)
LSG - Netherworld
|
Moby - Porcelain (Torsten Stenzel Remix)
